Rue des Casses, Prelles

This dial is on a private house close to the church. The dial is from 1853.

The dial has half-hour and hourlines from 5 to 4 o’clock.

The motto of the dial is “aussi rapide que l’Onde, le temps s’enfuit”, which translates to “as fast as the wave(?), time passes”.

The dial has a modern look with the mountain, rivers and trees. It is a depiction of the mountain the Montbrison, visible behind the village.

There is an older dial is underneath this one. The dial has been restored by Evelyne et Norbert Peyrot.
